The exterior calculus of differential forms is a basic tool
of differential geometry developed by Elie Cartan and has important
applications in the theory of partial differential equations.
The cartan package
implements the functions ext_diff and lie_diff,
along with the operators ~ (wedge product) and | (contraction
of a form with a vector.)
Type demo (tensor) to see a brief
description of these commands along with examples.
cartan was implemented by F.B. Estabrook and H.D. Wahlquist.
